S3 Series

While wait for the score and map, let's get the ball rolling on thoughts.

Remaining A/C:
LF 6- MC 200
4th- Bf 109,MC 200
100th- Bf 109
AE- Bf 110
NS- Ju 87D
Knights/Nomads- Ju 87D, Bf 110

VS
Hurri IIB, some Hurri I
Swordfish

On strike abilities, the swordfish can carry slighty more bombs (4x 500lb), but our Ju's have more punch, variety, speed, and toughness, supplemented with Bf 110s. We need to make sure we are striking harder and faster than the canvas to out score them for the victory in both the frame and series. When the points come out we will see how tough a task that is. EDIT: Series Score 179-224 Allied. We need to out score them more than 45 points. We probably need to score a total around 80 and severely limit them no more than 30 points.

Top scoring categories so far(both sides):
*GAF, Small Fortification
*Bridge Spans
*Tank Units and SAF if we are lucky

*Allies are killing us in A/C lost. That is where the majority of points for them are coming from. We cannot let ack be the victors and our strategy needs to be smart with timing, striking where they are not. May I suggest practicing high altitude dive bombing.

As far as limiting them, They know they have weak bombers and will most likely park a cloud of Hurricanes. Busting through the furball will probably not work. One thought I have is let them show there hand then have a group follow them back to base. From there we can either decide to make it a target or send in enough fighters super sneaky NOE and destroy them on landing. NOE to give their fighters little warning and maybe get the hell out of dodge in time.

Zinhwk,

We can do blitz on close targets with proper escorts.

Details and fancy graphics later, but what I'm going with is conducting operations on the Plain of Thessaly, lots of closable targets and bridges.

110s will augment the Ju-87s clearing ack before they arrive and strafe support. I will probably have the NS focus on bridges while the Knights go after closure. Coordinate much the same as frame IV.

With the 4ths bulk I would like to set them up as a defensive screen ahead of the strike forces and to be the hammer to any large fighter groups that may penetrate the outer screen. LF 6 further in front mainly for intel beyond Dar and handling small groups. Possibly operate in spaced wing pairs with DTs. Haze I'm thinking of handing you the Seek and Destroy mission for the Swordfish.

Everyone should be within minutes of each other.

Feasability? Other Ideas?

4th here....might work for us...seems we will have most in 109s and a step of KI43s.
At your disposal sir.

Zin ... Check your PM's

important to get targeting info out quickly so we can study them.
